Völkl Katana 108 23/24 Freeski
Product description
The legend is back! Refined with a 3D radius sidecut and a Titanal frame.
A waist width of 108 mm and a Titanal frame for the experienced and highly athletic freerider. If you like going really steep and fast off-piste, you’ll quickly appreciate the stability and shock absorption offered by the 0.7 mm thick Titanal frame that surrounds the highly stressed tip and tail areas. A 0.3 mm Titanal sheet in the binding area furthermore provides the necessary rigidity. With 108 mm under the boot, the ski delivers maximum flotation, even in deep powder.
In combination with the Titanal frame and carbon tips, the integrated 3D radius sidecut allows precise power transmission and a smooth ride coupled with uncompromising liveliness and turning behaviour such as never before experienced with Titanal skis!

The extra-light hybrid multilayer wood core is a very complex core that is used in the Blaze. Light and very stable poplar and beech woods, individually weighed and selected by weight before gluing, are used in this wood core. In the tip-to-tail construction, the wood extends to the tip of the blade and end, giving them the sophisticated combination of good stability and low weight. In the center of the core, a CNC-milled Isocore area contributes to optimal liveliness and dynamic development. All in all, this design allows the stability of the ski to meet the high demands of a freeride ski, and this at a weight that is only slightly higher than that of a touring ski.
Tip material layup for high reliability/stability at the lighest possible weight.
Three radii in one ski for macimum truning and speed versatility in AllMountain skiing.
LONG TIP & TAIL RADIUS Usage of long radii at tip and tail for big turns and high speed
- easy steering and maneuverability
- disruption resistant at the tip
- no radius limitation and ease of turn exit
TIGHT CENTER RADIUS Usage of shorter radius in the center for short turns and lower speed
- extremely easy to initiate short turns
- strikingly agile
- effortless and smooth in short turns
Power on the edge. Light and strong carbon tips. Strength for the mounting platform. Damping ofer the full length.
Direct and strong powertransmission with full length sidewalls.
A sintered high-density and high molecular polyethylene base with great gliding characteristics and high durability.
BRUSHED base structure on flat skis with wider widths Superficial & shallow structure matches with wide skis and their bigger bearing face › optimum agility & turning characteristics.
- Less catching
- Easier & smooth turn initiation
Bends up only in the shovel and tail zones, with a camber shape in the middle.
